I've been toying with the idea of doing some FaceBook marketing but haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet.  

of course,  there was a toy stuck in there.  

Because it's paving the path to "yes". 

Our private covered dock and lake toys are a bug draw for us in the summer months.Multiple people have said they love the pool table.In our bigger cabin people like the large game room, movie room, custom covered firepit and hot tub.

It's fine if you want to indulge a little bit here and there, but you'd better be getting some real enjoyment out of it, because when you upgrade based on personal enjoyment (read: emotion,)there's a good chance you're overspending, which is hurting the property's investment value.When it comes down to your dilemmas, I suggest picking the things that will look the best for the longest amount of time, as they will tend to cost you less over the long haul.

They pay for and change filters, bulbs, batteries.They haul off the trash right after the guests leave so the cleaners don't have to.They handle maintenance and basic repairs.They have replaced things like door knows and toilet wax rings.

There are bikes, kids' toys, and even cars flipped over in driveways.

I primarily like to buy and hold and hold on to them for the long haul. they are for my kids future, to sell and do what they want with the $ when i'm gone. but if you do not want to hold that long, you should take into consideration the tax implications. when you sell the house, you will have to pay tax on the depreciation amount that you took, and that's at 25%.

I'm sure it will be tough living apart but seems like it will be worth the sacrifice in the long haul.

If it costs X and increases to Y then Y is the new value.
